Bonds' reality show hits air

The first episode of "Bonds on Bonds," a weekly series the network describes as "a glimpse into the personal life of one of the sports world's most accomplished and complex figures," will delve into Bonds' off-the-field distractions during spring training, his stormy relationship with the media and his views on chasing Hank Aaron's home run record.

According to ESPN, the episode also will contain Bonds' "reaction to the allegations." Presumably, those would be steroid accusations.

Some ESPN employees have been critical of the network's decision to air the series, saying filmmakers are being put in a position to withhold news from ESPN's other divisions.
